From research to application: The Solar TAP innovation platform develops solutions for multi-benefit photovoltaics

In order to achieve the climate targets in Germany and Europe, renewable energies must be massively expanded, including photovoltaics (PV) - i.e. energy from the sun. This does not always require the construction of new large-scale solar parks: thanks to new PV technologies, existing surfaces can also be used to generate electricity from the sun.

Light, flexible, semitransparent and adaptable - With the Solar TAP innovation platform Forschungszentrum Jülich, das Helmholtz-Center Berlin und das Karlsruher Institute of Technology are developing innovative solutions for multi-benefit photovoltaic applications. This creates new potential for the expansion of PV in agriculture, the building sector and mobility. The three Helmholtz centers want to make the new technologies quickly and easily accessible to industry, society and end users via the platform.
